End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

I don't use the main forums much. I tend to use a couple of groups and visit a few peoples journals and just have the occasional look at the main forums. Although I have to say that if I recall correctly the baby forum is the worse one of all.

 

[Zfbaby]

I actually stopped using the whole site for a while when we were ttc. The ltttc forums would become so bitchy it became an added stress. They tried to have it restricted like the gender disappointment forums but were turned down. You use to get ppl trolling the site looking for arguments it just wasn't worth it.

hubby said he got a pile of cloth diapers!! can't wait to hey home and check them all out

 

[Zfbaby]

Nice!

 

[OmiOmen]

Zfbaby, I have stopped using it once or twice before because it reached the point that there is more nasty posts than supportive one. I tend to avoid anything that might get heated. I'm not sure I'll be using the baby section much at all.

Babyface15, How exciting...well it is to me, I know not everyone gets so excited over something that gets pooped in. I'd love to know what he has gotten! I keep peeking in my cloth nappy draw and am excited to get that bit of shopping done.

DH got 2 rompers and some booties while he was out and as soon as he started to open the bag I knew that one of the rompers he had already gotten. thankfully the first time he got it in 0-3 months and this one is newborn and since he likes it so much they will both get used.

 

[Zfbaby]

Dh has done the same with some sleepsuits. I think he gravitates towards ones he likes but then instantly forgets it. Like a goldfish lol. I know what you mean about the nappy draw. I keep looking at my burp cloth basket an all the pattern make me smile
I can't wait to start on my cloth stash. We have that demo on Tuesday. I can't wait, after we've been dh and I are going to start seriously stocking up. Thankfully we've got a bit of time as I don't want to transition over to them until after August.

 

[OmiOmen]

DH has gone crazy with rompers and anything with stars or stripes he loves. But like your DH he has the memory of a goldfish.

We will start after a few days hopefully. I am working on my newborn stash and then also have a birth-to-potty one and my night nappies will be size 1's, the 2 types we will have start at 6lbs though so should fit right away. With DS1 we never worked up to using them on a night so I am a bit worried of that. I hope you enjoy the demo!

 

[babyface15]

well it wasnt a huge pile like he was saying haha. but he got 3 s, 2 m, 1 one size AOI, 3 pocket diapers, 1 that you have to stuff (not sure what they're called) & some other stuff like boosters and wet bag
i took a pic I'll add now in a min!!

 

[babyface15]

So I'm all measured and I'm 40. I have a pretty small frame so although that seems like a low number my belly looks huge on me. People are constantly asking if I have twins in there; taking bets on when I'll stop working .. etc! lol

Sorry omni can't add any pics just yet because my camera cord is out in the car and it's so windy and cold. Will have to wait until dh gets up and does it.
Speaking of him, the house was a state!! He said he had cleaned too, can't imagine how bad it was before

 

[passion4shoes]

Wow ladies! That was a lot of reading to catch up on. I am at OH's family's house this weekend. Although MIL has disappeared - she has her first boyfriend in 7 years and seems to have ditched us all to spend all her time with him. I was really looking forward to showing her my bump but don't want to bother now. OH went out last night and is in a state at his mates house so plans for the day have fallen through. Quite pissed off actually!

Anyway I haven't bought anything or packed the hospital bag yet. On another mini rant, I only came down to grab cot and crib off SIL but now she is saying she doesn't have it. I know she does but doesn't want to lend it. Grrrr.

I can't wait to measure my bump when I get home!

Diaper party for men sounds like a great idea. UK ladies-
Are you doing a gift list for the baby shower? I feel a bit cheeky!

 

[Zfbaby]

Aww sorry your day is turning out poo! Dh is still sleeping as he finished work at 4am, got home and had a call from the alarm company to say he had to go back again. So he didn't get to sleep until 5am. Don't think we'll be doing much today.

Was wondering last night what the chances are of delivering early. I know some say that statistically ftms deliver late but i just wondered what happened with all of your firsts. I'd rather he didn't come early and as long as he's safe and happy I won't mind if he's a little late even if I am uncomfortable.
I'd like a little bit more time being pregnant and still have things I'd like to sort before he's here.

Sorry had to edit stupid iPhone!

 

[babyface15]

passion how disappointing about both your mil and the crib! its getting pretty late for her to have changed her mind on you :S

do you mean a gift list as in a registry at a store? I think its so different here, we make registries for wedding showers too. I would feel funny asking people for specific items too but you could always get whoever is helping to organize to plant some seeds with your guests on items you really want/need

 

[babyface15]

I feel like I keep reading birth stories about ftm going early. but it could be a case of selective memory BC I've been paranoid about going early myself lol

 

[pebbie1]

Aw passion, sorry to hear that Why won't she give you that stuff?

Zfbaby, I wouldn't mind at all for baby gettin out earlier rather than later! I'm quite over this pregnancy really and just want to be able to feel normal again and have loads of cuddles with baby! But of course I don't want it to come out till its ready.
It's being very very active today by the way! Feet are stuck under my ribs so lots of kicking under there hahahahah.
Think we'll be off to the playground with Marielle later and enjoy some fresh air

 

[pebbie1]

Oh and I'm not having a baby shower but a big BBQ night after baby is born

 

[Zfbaby]

Oh and I'm not having a baby shower but a big BBQ night after baby is born

Wow that's cool, the night after? I imagine I'm going to be too shell shocked to see ppl for ages

Think I want him to come late as denial is finally lifting as reality of birth is starting to kick in. When I told dh thi morning that it could be as little as 3 weeks away he seemed super excited and I suddenly felt petrified, like it's happening too fast. Crazy woman.

I wonder why your sil has suddenly backtracked on the crib? Is she hoping to use it again herself soon but doesn't want to say or do you think there's something behind it?

 

[charbaby]

I had my first 4 days late.
Had a really bad sleep last night my hips were killing me!
Hope you ladies who are having their showers today have loads of fun and get great prezzies can't wait to see pics x

 

[pebbie1]

Hahahaha no a few weeks after! My dad came to visit with Marielle three days after she was born. I was exhausted!!!!!

 

[pebbie1]

Char, my hips seem to get sore sooner now. I keep changing sides loads now during the night and its so uncomfortable to roll over to the other side

 

[Zfbaby]

Does anyone find their bumps hurt when they turn over in the night? I'm like you my hips kill if I lie on the same side for more than 5-10 mins but I find turning is soooo hard!
